THE MOST IMPORTANT.

1t is more impo- tant, a thousand
times more important to save this
| State from the clut.hes of the goths
and vandals, than to save the FEEDER
al government from the hands of the
Blaines, Shermans, Forakers, ALL
isons and Ingalls,. We shall be rob-
bed and feeced no matter which
party cOntrolls the Federal governs
ment for the next fifty years. There
will always be traitors enough in
the Democratic camp to unite with
the Republicans to prevent any re-
| ductiOn in the tariff, and this is the
only direction from which we have
expected relief. La fact if we get
no relief from this source we shall
never be relieved. Northern money
will always control newspapers, and
politicians enough South to always
| tip the scales in their favor. Some
of the leading newspapers and polit-
leans South are square out prOtec~
Lionists. In fact the rice section of
Soath CarOllna, the sugar section Of
Louisiana, the flax section of Kent
ucky, and now the iron section of
Alabama and Tennessee are and
have teen all the while for protec>
ton. The Virginia Democratic plat
form is for protection. With this
showing what relief can we expect
;,o,s Cor from either party. We
are new the burden '0"' q ioi VIC
moneyed lofdss and kings ~ '"e
land. We see no hope but to cons
tinue to be the hewers of wood and
the draws 81 water without ak or
bucket for others, for long time in
the future. If there were no traitors
in our partY if there were no wolves
in sleeps clothing, in our ranks we
could hope for better times in the
near future and might afford to carry
on the contest at the hazard of los
Ing our State, But as we have no
thing to look for or hope for as the
Democratic party is now organized
and controlle d it strikes US that we
had better begin TO put our own
house in order and prepare at once
to meet and conquer the enemy at
our doors.
The advent of the Republican
party to power in this State would
be an almost iGtolerable calamity.
That party would begin the next day
after it came INTO power to tear
down and demolish what we have
been twenty years in building up.
The misfortunes that would oyertake
US, the indignities that would be
heaped upon US would be so severe,
that we decline to enumerate them
now.
The mere fact that we should be
placed under the heel of the negro,
is enough to curdle the blood, and
fire the soul With righteous
Indignation of every true son
of the State. There IS no
use in saying that in case of the
success of the Republican party,
that the white Republicans would
rule. 1t is rot so, and if it should
be so, the negro would rule and cons
troll the white Republican, This is

PRRsIDRNF'a REPORT.
To the Honorable Police Jury Of the Parish
OF Daicasieu
GRErLEMHH- AT your meeting in
November last, there was bill of
twenty dollars (S2o) presented by DR.,
]. @. Munday, for medical seryiees on
prisoners in tho parish Jail, in that
bill there was a charge for one visit to
one John Henry (Tndian) )oftwo dollars
and fifty cents (s2,501 and eonsulta-
ton fee, same visit to same party, of
ten dollars ($IO1, AS DR., McMahon
was the attending physician on the
prisoners al the time, and % he
claimed two visits that same day to
the said John Henry, amounting TO
Eve dollars $500, your Honorable
Body decided that one Of the charges
in DR.. Mnnday's bill was wrong, and
as the charge of $3.50 for the visit
was first on the bill, that was the
charge that he was entitled to, and
Fou accordingly approved the bill in
cluding this charge for The visit, and
disappFaged that Of consultation, pr,
J, O, Monday refused to accept the
amount of the bill approved, and
brought suit for the whole bill, in the
Third Justices Court, and obtaining
judgment for the amount, the District
Attorney, with my approval, appealed
the case to the District Court, and on
a final hearing the Court amended the
| judgment of the lower court by strik-
ing out the $3.50 for visit approved
by your Honorable Body, and giving
| Judgment for the balance Of the bill,
which included the ten dollars for con-
sultatioH fee, which was disapproVed
by you. The decision rendered by
the District Judge establishes this
fact; that the charge for visit $3.50,
and consultation fee Of $40, were not
coFreet-the same view that the Police
Jury took of the matter the only diff
ference is that the Court allowed the
consultation foe, while the Police Jury
allowed the visit, it being tho first on
the bill.
